[CfP] Extended Deadline for: NordiCHI 2026 Workshop on Navigating Design Spaces and Guidelines for Human Augmentation in Industry and Craftsmanship

(Apologies for any cross-posting)

Hello All,

**We extended the deadline for the workshop's submission to 29. July AOE.**

Join us for an interactive workshop on human augmentation at NordiCHI 2026!

While industry has seen some applications on human augmentation, adoption i=
n craftsmanship has been limited. Additionally, research in industry has ma=
inly emphasised physical augmentation, leaving opportunities for cognitive =
and sensory enhancements. Interestingly, contexts characterised by complex =
manual tasks seem underexplored - an area of importance both for craftsmans=
hip and industry and thus our focus for our workshop.

In our workshop, we discuss the enhancement capabilities of technology in i=
ndustry and craftsmanship. We will focus on tangible constraints to ensure =
that augmentation supports, but never overrides worker judgment, avoids sur=
veillance, and integrates safely into diverse skill levels. For participant=
s, the workshop will clarify how augmentation reshapes expertise, autonomy,=
 embodiment, and responsibility across industrial work and craftsmanship, o=
ffering new insights and perspectives on Human 2.0 to the participants and =
conceptual anchors for their future HCI research.
The workshop is designed for collaborative scenario work and hands-on group=
 interaction where participants engage in group activities centred around t=
he workshop themes.

Through our workshop, we aim to sharpen the discourse on human augmentation=
 in industry and craftsmanship while identifying concrete future research d=
irections.
